As some of you already know. I have kicked up my private classes. I am training almost if not every day. I have cut out refined sugar, empty carbs, and increased my protein...

Here's the biggest one. Today I have quit smoking. Yes, I was a Smoker. A 20 year huffer. Not anymore! I have not had a smoke in 4 hours! Wooohhhhooo! Course everyone is complaining about my bad attitude, but **** them.

anthony, i am not trying to start anything man, but you look like you have at least 60 lbs. to lose. its a little late to start getting into shape a month or so before an event.

martial arts should be a way of life, you should be treating your body as a temple every living fukking day of your life. smoking should not be an option for you, you should have been in top shape a long time ago.

if you dont smarten the fukk up by the look of your photo, you'll be having a heart attack in the next decade. you are grossly out of shape.

i am glad to hear that you quit smoking and your making a lifestyle change with your eating habits. if you dont, you will lose in the game of life.

Thanks for your concern, I just started back in the MA's about 4 months ago with GJJ. Actually about the same time I started frequenting this board. My body type from that pics was when I was power lifting and my diet was extremely poor.

As for getting in shape for an event, I have been doing that for the past 4 months, hence even considering going to the WCR.

I take no offense Jamoke, I would like to test my skills against you someday. Maybe someday you will have free time to meet with the rest of us.

Btw, how about shooting up a pic of yourself? I'd like to see what a paragon of health looks like! =o)

Exactly! Not that I expect to go longer than 10 minutes with anyone but if I do, I don't want to gas out!

Just as I thought. You are in shape? I am a believer that the mind and body are one. I can tell by your shitty attitude and loud mouth demeanor that you are not in shape, and wouldn't have lasted a minute with me when I wasn't in shape. You keep talking about my picture that was taken over a year ago like it's supposed to hurt my feelings.

I have the balls to put my pic up. I also have the mental stablity to take your negative posts and brush them off for what they are. The ravings of an insecure human being.

I'm not interested in pissing with you Jamoke. Doing so won't make me any money or friends.

Just lower my IQ.

Isn't it funny how Jamoke is so serious about attacking anyway who is even midly insulting to him...and then behaves like this.

I'm done defending you Jamoke. You are pathetic.

Normally, I'd say I was grappling, but I was taking down and mounting people, and JFS has kindly informed us that takedowns and being mounted are neither grappling nor anti grappling, so I'm not sure what the **** I was doing. Maybe schroedinger's sparring, where it's neither grappling nor anti-grappling until somoene observes it and collapses the waveform, and then I RNC a cat to death.----fatherdog
